Story transcript

Old Snake: What will you do now?

Quiet: I do not know.

Old Snake: That's honest.

Quiet: You are dying.

Old Snake: That obvious?

Old Snake: I won't be around much longer.

Quiet: Then hear this while you are.

Quiet: He mattered. He was real.

Quiet: He was kind when he should have been cruel. He carried a lie heavier than most men could survive.

Old Snake: I know.

Quiet: Thank you. For remembering him.

Old Snake: Someone had to.

Old Snake: I know you wanted to spend you life with him. How it hurts that you can't have children with him.

Old Snake: But life isn't just about passing on your genes. You can leave behind much more than just DNA.

Old Snake: You can still preserve his legacy through the memories. What you two saw, heard, and felt together.

Old Snake: The anger, joy, sorrow and love. Everything you felt, thought about during that mission is yours.

Old Snake: You can pass the torch and let the world read his history. His legacy can live through you.

Old Snake: From there, what you decide to do with that is your choice. Choose your own legacy. For you.

Old Snake: Find something to believe in for yourself. And when you do, pass it on to the future.

Old Snake: It's for you to decide. It's up to you.

Quiet: I understand now. I thought I came here to confront the man who killed him.

Quiet: I came here to meet the last man who understood him. And you carry his spirit with you too.

Quiet: Thank you, Snake. Farewell.

Sunny: Wait!

Otacon: Sunny?

Sunny: Not now, Uncle Hal. This is between us girls.

Sunny: You're lonely.

Quiet: !

Sunny: You stayed alive. But you've been alone all this time. You don't have to be alone anymore.

Quiet: ...Thank you.

Otacon: She really carried all of that by herself...

Old Snake: Yeah. Until now.

Old Snake: Come on.
